A handful of big-time acts have been added to the lineups at the three Riot Fest locations for later this summer…because you needed MORE of a reason to go.

Now appearing at the Denver Riot Fest (Aug 28-30) will be System Of A Down, The Prodigy (who are still a band because 1990s big beat music will somehow never die…) and Death Grips. Added to the lineup at the Chicago installment of Riot Fest (September 11-13) will be System Of A Down and The Prodigy, and now appearing in Toronto (September 19-20) will be Cancer Bats, The Prodigy, Bleachers, and Weezer, who’ll be performing “The Blue Album” and “Pinkerton” in their entirety.

Band Spotlight

Not often we hear something from a completely unknown group that absolutely blows us away. Believe us, we listen to a lot of punk-- and news flash: not all of it's good. But 24 Hour Punks, discovered through a lucky click on bandcamp, is incredible. Think fast, intense melodic punk that lands somewhere between hard-hitting 90s skate and Cock Sparrer. It's a powerful concoction for a debut EP.
Even better, there's a story behind it. As the band's name suggests, Why We Fight was written, rehearsed, and recorded in 24 hours. All proceeds go to charity organization AMMF.
We're not kidding! Check out the three song EP and listen to 24 Hour Punks raise the bar here.
